Career
Pacillo grew up in Rutherford, New Jersey and played both baseball and football at Rutherford High School.[1]
In 1982 and 1983, Pacillo played collegiate summer baseball for the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL). He played outfielder and pitcher, batting .338 in 1983 and leading Harwich to the league title. Pacillo was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame in 2005.[2]
He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 1st round (5th pick) of the 1984 MLB draft out of Seton Hall University, where he had played baseball for the Pirates under head coach Mike Sheppard.
On May 23, 1987, Pacillo made his MLB debuted. In his MLB debut he pitched 5 innings and gave up 2 earned runs while striking out 3.[3]
In 1988, Pacaillo was traded to the Montreal Expos along with Tracy Jones for Randy St. Claire, Jeff Reed, and Herm Winningham.[4] He never pitched in the majors again.
Pacillo is perhaps best remembered for replacing Pete Rose on the Reds' 40-man roster following the 1986 season. Rose, who by that point was serving as the team's player-manager, removed himself from the roster in order to make room for Pacillo.
A resident of Bradley Beach, New Jersey, Pacillo works as a financial adviser.[5]
